Oklahoma State Cowboys vs. Texas Tech Red Raiders Prediction
I’m on Texas Tech here. I know it’s a huge number with the Red Raiders here, but the thing is that Oklahoma State’s shown us nothing up to this point to think that they can keep it close as they’ve gotten blown out by less than what they’re up against here. Texas Tech is in a bounce back spot after a narrow loss and I think they demolish Oklahoma State here. Give me the Red Raiders.
